JOE HENRY
"Hobo's Lullaby"
(Goebel Reeves)

Go to sleep, you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'
That's the hobo's lullaby

I know your clothes are torn and ragged
And your hair is turning gray
But lift your head and smile at trouble
You'll find peace and rest someday

Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all that wind and snow

Well, I know the police 'cause you trouble
They 'cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to Heaven
You'll find no policemen there

So go to sleep, you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail hummin'
That's a hobo's lullaby
Can't you hear the steel rail hummin'
That's a hobo's lullaby
